Moving from Me to We.
I picked up this book simply on a whim. I was cruising the book aisle at Costco and it caught my eye. I've only just begun reading it, but would recommend it to everyone.
Craig and Marc Kielburger are the founders of an international children's charity called Free The Children that works to raise awareness of global child labor issues as well as empower young people to become involved in social issues.
The book not only has Craig and Marc's amazing stories, but stories from others like them who have been working for change either locally or around the world.
But the main thrust of the book is to help people move from a self-centered life (Me) to one that is focused on reaching out and helping others (We). The premise being that as each of us reaches out to help others we find true happiness for ourselves.
I think this will preach...

Seems like that fits with something I heard once, about how Jesus never tells people to improve their self-esteem, but instead to focus on helping others. The by-product being that when we focus on others, our own feelings of worth improve naturally.
Preach it, bro!
Hi Pastor Jon! Believe it or not, I just discovered your blog. Welcome to the 21st century. :-D
